Mario Boggan had 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting for the Cowboys (15-14, 5-10),
who have lost five of seven. Byron Eaton added 11 points, but made a crucial
mistake in the waning moments. JamesOn Curry ended with 10 points.

The Sooners beat Iowa State, Texas Tech, Kansas State all by a point in their
previous contests, and Monday night’s game, known as the Bedlam Series,
provided for extra dramatics, on a night when Oklahoma honored its seniors,
including Everett.

Bookout’s dunk off a long pass with 8.8 seconds left gave the Sooners a 65-64
lead. Bookout was fouled by Curry, but missed the ensuing free throw. Carter
tapped the ball toward midcourt for Oklahoma, but the ball went right to the
Cowboys’ Jamaal Brown, who was fouled by Michael Neal on a layup try.

Brown made both attempts with 4.7 seconds left. Then, without a timeout
remaining, Everett received the inbounds pass and dribbled three times near
the left sideline before running into first-year guard Eaton near midcourt.
Cowboys head coach Sean Sutton fell to the floor in disbelief as the foul was
called.

After Everett sank both foul shots, Neal stole the inbounds pass, sending the
crowd at the Lloyd Noble Center into a frenzy.

Oklahoma trailed by as many as eight points in the second half and was behind
57-50 with 6:43 remaining. However, the Sooners scored the next six points.

The Cowboys led 31-30 at the half.
